Hello Prospective AP Chem student,
This page is designed to help regular Chemistry or Physics students learn material necessary to succeed in AP Chemistry. The contents may also be helpful for Chemistry Honors students as a review.
Webpage Organization:
Each topic contains three or four resources: Podcasts, Notes, Worksheets, Weblinks
For maximum benefit, I recommend you complete the materials in the order they have been given. Additional materials may be found in Unit A (Ch 1-4) of the AP Chemistry website. Because the contents of Unit A are considered review, they will be covered quickly during the school year. Thus, I highly recommend reviewing these materials before the summer ends.
Please let me know if you have any questions. My e-mail address is [email protected]. I will be periodically checking my e-mail over the summer.
Here is our tentative calendar for the year, just in case you are interested: Calendar
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gupta
